Governors

Local Governing Body

The school has a Local Governing Body (LGB) which is responsible for making decisions about the running of the school.  Its power is delegated from the board of Trustees of Ebor Academy Trust (Ebor’s Scheme of Delegation can be found here). For more information regarding the trustees, please see the Ebor Academy Trust website. The Governance page can be found here.

The LGB consists of members of the local community interested in education, and no formal qualifications are required as full training is given. The headteacher is automatically a member of the LGB because of their position, but cannot be the chair. Parents are welcome to join the LGB and when there are vacancies. We particularly welcome applicants with skills in managing budgets, legal work, human resources, running a business or any work connected with young people.

In 2025, Marfleet Primary Academy and Alderman Cogan Primary Academy merged to form a joint Local Governing Body (LGB). This collaborative leadership team works closely with the Headteachers of both schools to oversee policy development, support daily operations, and provide strategic direction.

The LGB also ensures that we foster a nurturing, inclusive community and maintain the highest standards of education, providing every pupil with the tools and environment they need to achieve their full potential.
